So I'm watching "Showdown in Little Tokyo" today, and it got me curious about Brandon Lee. I knew he died at the shooting of The Crow, but I still wanted to know about his career and stuff, and thats when I found the real tragedy. Bruce Lee died at the shooting of a movie too, at the age of 32. Brandon was 28 and was supposed to be married the next week. I'm sure a lot people already knew this but it was new knowledge to me. I mean these seemed like two upstanding guys, Bruce was very philoshophical or so I hear. Its one of those senseless tragedies.

It's been awhile since I saw documentaries re Bruce Lee and his son Brandon. From what I recall it did seem kind of freaky how they both died, and the fact they both thought they were cursed.
I remember growing up as a kid in the 70s, no cable channels, just a handful of local channels, and for some reason Bruce Lee movies were really popular LOL. Gawd I've probably seen them all. The one I remember the most is the one where he fights some indian guy with a big braid and earrings (both of which Bruce Lee gets rid of). Bruce Lee always cracked me up with his facial expressions. Made me wonder if he put a lemon or something in his mouth beforehand to get that tart fatial scrunch LOL. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] |

Hahaha yea, his movies were fun, not ones that the academy would like, but I thought they were pretty enjoyable. He could do some amazing things though.

and dont forget no stunt men or special effects in his moves. its all real fighting. before the director has requested bruce lee to actually slow down because his kicks couldnt be seen in the film shootings.

If I recall correctly, there was a lot of talk after Brandon's death about the movie "Dragon" which talked about the curse on the family. It sure was a strange thing though....
